Alright, I'm going to launch explosives around your house. For several hours. Yes it is dangerous and terrible for wildlife and the environment. And yes your pets will get sick from eating the debris and you will feel terrorized inside your own home.
No you can't opt out of it. Everyone is doing it and frankly it's weird that you don't want to.
No you can't be the one launching the explosives you need a license for that. You can however launch these marginally smaller ones though. Yeah just whenever you want. 2am sounds great.
So anyway, fireworks were a mistake and it's never too early to start reminding you of that.
Oh honey. You think it's for 2 hours? It's roughly once an hour from the middle of June to the middle of July
I love this time of year. It drowns out the sound of gunfire.
fr, oh to live such a privileged life that the worst noise pollution you have to deal with is fireworks a couple of times per year.
Where do you live? That's excessive.
Worst I've seen in rural Michigan, is occasional fireworks the week before and after the 4th.
Now that I'm in the suburbs? Maybe a day before and after. Eh, could be worse.
Kansas baby, deep red territory. It sucks here lmao
Doesn't have to be deep red. Sacramento is fairly purple and they've been at it too. Same as every year.
Well, that's how it is in my country, and mostly respected outside no-go zones :)
Slightly different per municipality, but in general it's permitted 23-01 around the new year. Outside that, you need to apply to the police for permission.
